Biography
I wasn’t born into the legal profession. Growing up, the thought of becoming a lawyer never crossed my mind. My legal journey began on the same dirt road as many of you that are reading this is on … as a client. I had a child very young and sought legal advice about my visitation rights. I met with an attorney that advised me that it would be cheaper to sign my rights away and then just find him when he turned 18. I was flabbergasted at that notion!

I know what its like to work hard and come up short and the struggle to put food on the table. My years of non-profit management working with both the elderly and individuals with disabilities also instilled a level of personal care that I invoke with all my clients.

I threw a few of those below in case you were interest, but let’s face it, you’re probably not. Most clients can’t relate to that information. And really, this shouldn’t be about the attorney. This isn’t my story, this is your story.
I have served as a head football coach and baseball coach in northern Kentucky for over a decade. I’m a diehard Cincinnati Reds and Bengals fan. I pro
